NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

A. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and applicable rules and regulations. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In management’s opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included and are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.

You should read the financial statements and these notes, which are an integral part of the financial statements, together with our audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 (“2009 Annual Report”). The accounting policies used to prepare the financial statements included in this report are the same as those described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in our 2009 Annual Report unless otherwise noted below.

Net Income (Loss) per Common Share

We compute net income per common share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, and diluted net income per common share using the additional dilutive effect of all dilutive securities. The dilutive impact of stock options account for the additional weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for our diluted net income per common share computation. We calculated basic and diluted net income per common share as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

   $ 0.27    $ (0.07   $ 0.55    $ (0.74
                              

Shares related to stock options representing the right to acquire 305,354 shares of common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2010, and 426,995 shares for the nine months ended March 31, 2010, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share, as the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Shares related to stock options representing the right to acquire 708,442 shares of common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2009, and 884,878 shares for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net (loss) income per common share, as the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Stock-Based Compensation

We have a new omnibus incentive plan that was approved by our Board of Directors effective as of October 15, 2009 and approved by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on November 30, 2009. Under the plan, we may grant nonqualified and incentive stock options and other stock-based awards to employees, non-employee directors and consultants. As of March 31, 2010, no awards had been granted under the plan. Our prior equity incentive plan was terminated effective as of November 30, 2009. We also had an employee stock purchase plan that was terminated effective as of June 30, 2009.

Table of Contents

We estimate the fair value of stock option awards at the date of grant and estimated employee stock purchase plan shares at the beginning of the offering period using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. Black-Scholes uses assumptions related to volatility, the risk-free interest rate, the dividend yield (which we assume to be zero, as we have not paid any cash dividends) and employee exercise behavior. Expected volatilities used in the model are based mainly on the historical volatility of our stock price. The risk-free interest rate is derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect in the period of grant. The expected life of stock option grants is derived from historical experience.

Our net income included stock based compensation expense of approximately $69,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and approximately $181,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010. Our net loss included stock based compensation expense of approximately $108,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and approximately $289,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Our financial statements include the following financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses. We believe the carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities in the financial statements approximate the fair values of these financial instruments at March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2009. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

We use a three-level hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on the best information available under the circumstances.

The fair value hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the source of inputs. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs use quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. We classify cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities balances as Level 1 assets. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs are based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and models for which all significant inputs are observable or can be corroborated, either directly or indirectly by observable market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. These include certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs. As of March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2009, we did not have any financial assets or liabilities classified as Level 2 or 3.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

During the first quarter of 2010, we adopted the new Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) as issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). The ASC has become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. The ASC is not intended to change or alter existing GAAP. The adoption of the ASC did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Effective June 15, 2009, the Company adopted the updated guidance related to subsequent events issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The updated guidance initially required the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date – that is, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. However, in February 2010, the FASB amended the guidance to remove the requirement to disclose the date through which subsequent events were evaluated. Adoption of the updated guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or statements of cash flows.

Effective January 1, 2010, the Company adopted the FASB’s updated guidance related to fair value measurements and disclosures, which requires a reporting entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and to describe the reasons for the transfers. In addition, in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs, or Level 3, a reporting entity should disclose separately information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than one net number). The updated guidance also requires that an entity should provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities and disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements for Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. The guidance is effective for interim or annual financial reporting periods beginning after

December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Therefore, the Company has not yet adopted the guidance with respect to the roll forward activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. The Company has updated its disclosures to comply with the updated guidance, however, adoption of the updated guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or statements of cash flows.

B. Discontinued Operations

In an effort to enhance stockholder value, improve working capital and enable us to focus on our core contract manufacturing business, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 we undertook a careful review of our branded products portfolio and operations. As a result, we decided to narrow our branded products focus and portfolio and developed a plan to do so, which included a decision to sell the legacy business of Real Health Laboratories, Inc. (RHL). On August 4, 2008, RHL sold certain assets related to its catalog and internet business conducted under the name “As We Change®” to Miles Kimball Company for a cash purchase price of $2.3 million. We recorded a loss of $226,000 as a result of this sale and recognized $221,000 in severance and related payroll costs during fiscal 2009.

On July 29, 2009, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with PharmaCare US Inc. and PharmaCare Laboratories Pty Ltd. for the sale of substantially all of the remaining assets of RHL related to its wholesale and direct-to-consumer business. The sale closed on July 31, 2009 for a cash purchase price of $500,000. NAI provided a guarantee of RHL’s indemnity obligations under the Asset Purchase Agreement, which potential liability is capped at the amount of the purchase price paid by the buyers to RHL. We recorded a loss of $6,000 as a result of this sale during the first quarter of fiscal 2010. RHL agreed to provide certain transition services and support to the buyers for a period of up to six months and received an amount equal to $9,000 per month for such services. Following the sale of substantially all of the assets of RHL, we changed the name of RHL to Disposition Company, Inc.

As part of the original Asset Purchase Agreement, we had the potential to receive up to an additional $500,000 from the buyers as a conditional earn-out if the RHL business acquired by the buyers met or exceeded certain budgeted profitability criteria during the period August 1, 2009 through July 31, 2010. Effective as of February 12, 2010, based on the loss of one or more customers, the results of operation of the RHL business since the closing date of the sale, the anticipated results of operation of the RHL business through July 31, 2010, and the corresponding anticipated reduction and/or elimination in the conditional earn-out amount, and in an effort to avoid the time and expense associated with the procedures required in connection with the earn-out, including, without limitation, the time and expense associated with the preparation of the required reports and a review of the books and records of PharmaCare US and PharmaCare Australia, we amended the Asset Purchase Agreement to eliminate the potential earn-out compensation.

As a result of our decision to sell the legacy RHL business, we initiated an operational consolidation program during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 that transitioned the remaining branded products business operations to our corporate offices. We substantially completed this operational consolidation program as of September 30, 2008. The program resulted in a charge to discontinued operations of $866,000 in severance and other business related exit costs during the nine months ended March 31, 2009.

As the plan to dispose of the legacy RHL business met the criteria of accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, the current and prior periods presented in this report have been reclassified to reflect the legacy RHL business as discontinued operations.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2009, RHL’s wholesale operation experienced a decline in sales activity from one of its largest customers as a result of the discontinuance of certain RHL product lines. Historically these product sales represented a significant portion of RHL’s overall annual sales to this customer. Additionally, during this same period we received feedback from multiple parties related to their preliminary interest in acquiring the then remaining RHL operations. Due in part to the expected decline in future RHL sales as noted above and the current depressed worldwide economic conditions, the preliminary purchase price valuations provided by these third parties provided us with an indication that an impairment of the RHL net asset carrying values may exist.

We performed an analysis that compared the fair value of RHL’s net assets as indicated by the third party purchase price valuations noted above to the current carrying amounts to determine if an impairment of value was evident. As a result of this analysis, we determined that as of the related measurement date the book value of RHL’s net assets exceeded the fair value by approximately $1.8 million and recorded an impairment charge for this amount to discontinued operations during the third quarter of fiscal 2009.

E. Debt

We have a bank credit facility of $8.0 million as of March 31, 2010, comprised of a $7.5 million working capital line of credit and $496,000 in an outstanding term loan. The working capital line of credit has a maturity date of November 1, 2011 and is secured by our accounts receivable and other rights to payment, general intangibles, inventory and equipment, has a fluctuating or fixed interest rate as elected by NAI from time to time and borrowings are subject to eligibility requirements for current accounts receivable and inventory balances. As of March 31, 2010, the outstanding balance on the term loan consisted of a $496,000, 10 year term loan due May 2014 with a twenty year amortization, secured by our San Marcos building, at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.25%. As of March 31, 2010, our monthly payments on the term loan is approximately $3,000 plus interest. As of March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2009, our working capital line of credit balance was zero.

On March 31, 2010, we were in compliance with all of the financial and other covenants required under our credit facility.

On September 22, 2006, NAIE, our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a credit facility to provide it with a credit line of up to CHF 1.3 million, or approximately $1.2 million, which is the initial maximum aggregate amount that can be outstanding at any one time under the credit facility. This maximum amount was reduced by CHF 160,000, or approximately $150,000, as of December 31, 2007, and was reduced an additional CHF 160,000, or approximately $150,000, as of December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2009, and will be reduced by an additional CHF 160,000 at the end of each succeeding calendar year. On February 19, 2007, NAIE amended its credit facility to provide that the maximum aggregate amount that may be outstanding under the facility cannot be reduced below CHF 500,000, or approximately $470,000. As of March 31, 2010, there was no outstanding balance under the credit facility.

Under its credit facility, NAIE may draw amounts either as current account loan credits to its current or future bank accounts or as fixed loans with a maximum term of 24 months. Current account loans will bear interest at the rate of 5% per annum. Fixed loans will bear interest at a rate determined by the parties based on current market conditions and must be repaid pursuant to a repayment schedule established by the parties at the time of the loan. If a fixed loan is repaid early at NAIE’s election or in connection with the termination of the credit facility, NAIE will be charged a pre-payment penalty equal to 0.1% of the principal amount of the fixed loan or CHF 1,000 (approximately $940), whichever is greater. The bank reserves the right to refuse individual requests for an advance under the credit facility, although its exercise of such right will not have the effect of terminating the credit facility as a whole.

The composite interest rate on all of our outstanding debt was 14.79% at March 31, 2010 and 6.70% at March 31, 2009. The composite interest rate includes interest from our term debt, interest from the use of our working capital line of credit, amortization of annual loan fees and loan modification fess, as applicable, divided by the average balance of our outstanding borrowings during the period.

F. Defined Benefit Pension Plan

We sponsor a defined benefit pension plan that provides retirement benefits to employees based generally on years of service and compensation during the last five years before retirement. Effective June 20, 1999, our Board of Directors amended the plan to

freeze the accrued benefit of each plan member at its then current amount and to no longer allow inactive plan members or other employees to become active members of the plan. We contribute an amount not less than the minimum funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 nor more than the maximum tax-deductible amount. For the nine months ended March 31, 2010, we contributed $450,000 to our defined benefit pension plan.

H. Segment Information

Our business consists of two segments, identified as private label contract manufacturing, which primarily provides private label contract manufacturing services to companies that market and distribute nutritional supplements and other health care products, and branded products, which markets and distributes branded nutritional supplements.

In an effort to enhance stockholder value, improve working capital and enable us to focus on our core contract manufacturing business, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 we developed a plan to narrow our branded products focus and portfolio and to sell our legacy RHL business. On August 4, 2008, RHL sold certain assets related to its catalog and internet business conducted under the name “As We Change®” to Miles Kimball Company for a cash purchase price of $2.3 million. We recorded a loss of $226,000 as a result of this sale and recognized $221,000 in severance and related payroll costs during fiscal 2009.

On July 31, 2009, we sold substantially all of the remaining assets of RHL related to its wholesale and direct-to-consumer business to PharmaCare US Inc. and PharmaCare Laboratories Pty Ltd. for a cash purchase price of $500,000. The financial information presented in this report has been reclassified to reflect the legacy RHL business as discontinued operations. We recorded a loss of $6,000 as a result of this sale.

Table of Contents

Following the completion of the sale of substantially all of the assets of RHL, our branded products segment consists primarily of the products sold under our Pathway to Healing product line.

We evaluate performance based on a number of factors. The primary performance measures for each segment are net sales and income or loss from operations before corporate allocations. Operating income or loss for each segment does not include corporate general and administrative expenses, interest expense and other miscellaneous income and expense items. Corporate general and administrative expenses include, but are not limited to: human resources, legal, finance, information technology, and other corporate level related expenses, which are not allocated to either segment. The accounting policies of our segments are the same as those described in Note A above and in the consolidated financial statements included in our 2009 Annual Report.

I. Restructuring Costs

During the first six months of fiscal 2009, the continued decline in economic conditions in the United States and the various foreign markets we service negatively impacted our customers’ businesses and our operations. As a result, during the second quarter of fiscal 2009 we implemented a cost reduction program that resulted in the elimination of certain personnel and business activities. The cost reduction program is expected to reduce the financial impact of the anticipated reduction in future sales. This program resulted in a charge to our operations of $558,000 in severance from a reduction in force during the second quarter of fiscal 2009. All payments related to this cost reduction program were completed by December 31, 2009.

The following table presents the activity and the reserve balance related to this restructuring program for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 (in thousands):

J. Income Taxes

We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates, for each of the jurisdictions in which we operate, expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

During fiscal 2009, we recorded a valuation allowance against deferred income tax assets of $1.8 million, representing the amount of our deferred income tax assets in excess of our deferred income tax liabilities. We recorded the valuation allowance because management was unable to conclude, in light of the cumulative loss we realized related to our US-based operations for the three year period ended June 30, 2009, that realization of the net deferred income tax asset was more likely than not. The valuation allowance recorded during fiscal 2009 primarily related to fiscal 2009 net operating loss carry forwards and changes in other deferred tax items recognized during fiscal 2009.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2010, we recorded U.S.-based federal tax expense of $621,000 on U.S.-based income from continuing operations before income taxes, which was fully offset by a tax benefit of $3.2 million that was recorded as a result of the write-off of our tax basis in RHL’s stock which we determined had become worthless during the third quarter of fiscal 2010. The remaining net tax benefit was partially offset by a deferred tax asset valuation adjustment of $1.4 million leaving a net tax benefit of $1.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010. This tax benefit was recognized based on our intent to carry back our current year tax loss in accordance with the Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009 signed by the President on November 6, 2009, which increases the allowable carry back period to five years (previously limited to a two-year carry back). In addition, during the nine months ended March 31, 2010, we recorded state tax expense of $136,000 on U.S.-based income from continuing operations before income taxes, which was fully offset by a tax benefit of $545,000 that was recorded as a result of the write-off of our tax basis in RHL’s stock. This net tax benefit was fully offset by a deferred tax asset valuation adjustment of $409,000 resulting in $0 net state tax expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2010.

As a result of the recognition of these adjustments, we had a $4.5 million gross deferred tax asset offset by a deferred tax liability of $272,000 and a valuation allowance of $4.2 million resulting in a net deferred tax asset of $0 as of March 31, 2010. This valuation allowance did not have any affect on the tax expense and related liability recorded for operating income recognized by our foreign subsidiary during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010.

We account for uncertain tax positions using the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold. Our practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2009, we had not recorded any tax liabilities for uncertain tax positions.

We are subject to taxation in the United States, Switzerland and various state jurisdictions. Our tax years for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2006 and forward are subject to examination by the United States and state tax authorities and our tax years for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007 and forward are subject to examination by the Switzerland tax authorities.

We do not record U.S. income tax expense for NAIE’s retained earnings that are declared as indefinitely reinvested offshore, thus reducing our overall income tax expense. The amount of earnings designated as indefinitely reinvested in NAIE is based on the actual deployment of such earnings in NAIE’s assets and our expectations of the future cash needs of our U.S. and foreign entities. Income tax laws are also a factor in determining the amount of foreign earnings to be indefinitely reinvested offshore.

It is our policy to establish reserves based on management’s assessment of exposure for certain positions taken in previously filed tax returns that may become payable upon audit by tax authorities. The tax reserves are analyzed at least annually, generally in the fourth quarter of each year, and adjustments are made as events occur that warrant adjustments to the reserve.

K. Contingencies

From time to time, we become involved in various investigations, claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. These matters may relate to product liability, employment, intellectual property, tax, regulation, contract or other matters. The resolution of these matters as they arise will be subject to various uncertainties and, even if such claims are without merit, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. While unfavorable outcomes are possible, based on available information, we generally do not believe the resolution of these matters will result in a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial condition, or results of operations. However, a settlement payment or unfavorable outcome could adversely impact our results of operations. Our evaluation of the likely impact of these actions could change in the future and we could have unfavorable outcomes that we do not expect.

As of May 13, 2010, neither NAI nor its subsidiaries were a party to any material pending legal proceeding nor was any of their property the subject of any material pending legal proceeding.

On July 31, 2009 RHL sold substantially all of the remaining assets of RHL related to its wholesale and direct-to-consumer business to PharmaCare US Inc. and PharmaCare Laboratories Pty Ltd. for a cash purchase price of $500,000. NAI provided a guarantee of RHL’s indemnity obligations under the asset purchase agreement, which potential liability is capped at the amount of the purchase price paid by the buyers to RHL.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis is intended to help you understand our financial condition and results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010. You should read the following discussion and analysis together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included under Item 1 in this report, as well as the risk factors and other information included in our 2009 Annual Report and other reports and documents we file with the SEC. Our future financial condition and results of operations will vary from our historical financial condition and results of operations described below based on a variety of factors.

Executive Overview

The following overview does not address all of the matters covered in the other sections of this Item 2 or other items in this report or contain all of the information that may be important to our stockholders or the investing public. This overview should be read in conjunction with the other sections of this Item 2 and this report.

Our primary business activity is providing private label contract manufacturing services to companies that market and distribute vitamins, minerals, herbs and other nutritional supplements, as well as other health care products, to consumers both within and outside the United States. Historically, our revenue has been largely dependent on sales to one or two private label contract manufacturing customers and subject to variations in the timing of such customers’ orders, which in turn is impacted by such customers’ internal marketing programs, supply chain management, entry into new markets, new product introductions and general industry and economic conditions.

A cornerstone of our business strategy is to achieve long-term growth and profitability and to diversify our sales base. We have sought and expect to continue to seek to diversify our sales by developing relationships with additional, quality-oriented, private label contract manufacturing customers, developing and growing our own line of branded products and commercializing our licensed patent estate through contract manufacturing, royalty and sub-license agreements.

In an effort to enhance stockholder value, improve working capital and enable us to focus on our core contract manufacturing business, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 we developed a plan to narrow our branded products focus and portfolio and to sell our legacy RHL business. On August 4, 2008, we sold certain assets related to RHL’s catalog and internet business conducted under the name “As We Change®” to Miles Kimball Company for a cash purchase price of $2.3 million. We recorded a loss of $226,000 as a result of this sale and recognized $221,000 in severance and related payroll costs during fiscal 2009.

On July 31, 2009, we sold substantially all of the remaining assets of RHL related to its wholesale and direct-to-consumer business to PharmaCare US Inc. and PharmaCare Laboratories Pty Ltd. for a cash purchase price of $500,000. We had the potential to receive up to an additional $500,000 from the buyers as a conditional earn-out if the RHL business acquired by the buyers met or exceeded certain budgeted profitability criteria during the period August 1, 2009 through July 31, 2010. Effective as of February 12, 2010, based on the loss of one or more customers, the results of operation of the RHL business since the closing date of the sale, the anticipated results of operation of the RHL business through July 31, 2010, and the corresponding anticipated reduction and or elimination in the conditional earn-out amount, and in an effort to avoid the time and expense associated with the procedures required in connection with the earn-out, including, without limitation, the time and expense associated with the preparation of the required reports and a review of the books and records of PharmaCare US and PharmaCare Australia, we entered into an agreement with PharmaCare to eliminate the potential earn-out compensation. We recorded a loss of $6,000 as a result of this sale. The financial information presented in this report has been reclassified to reflect the legacy RHL business as discontinued operations.

As a result of our decision to sell the legacy RHL business, we initiated an operational consolidation program during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 that transitioned the remaining branded products business operations to our corporate offices. We substantially completed this operational consolidation program as of September 30, 2008. The program resulted in a charge to discontinued operations of $823,000 in severance and other business related exit costs during fiscal 2009.

During the first nine months of fiscal 2010, our net sales from continuing operations were 6.1% lower than in the first nine months of fiscal 2009. Private label contract manufacturing sales declined 5.6% due primarily to lower volumes of existing products in existing markets sold to one of our largest customers and the discontinuance of a relationship with one of our smaller customers. This decline was partially offset by increased sales to other existing customers and income related to our sub-license agreement for the distribution of Beta-Alanine. Net sales from our branded products declined 17.1% in the first nine months of fiscal 2010 as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2009 due to the continued softening of our Pathway to Healing® product line. During early fiscal 2011 we intend to increase our Dr. Cherry marketing and advertising efforts and plan to re-launch certain Dr. Cherry products with new formulations, labeling and packaging in an effort to expand our future sales opportunities.

Our revenue concentration risk for our two largest customers increased to 83% as a percentage of our total sales from continuing operations for the first nine months of fiscal 2010 compared to 79% in the first nine months of fiscal 2009. We expect our contract

manufacturing revenue concentration percentage for our two largest customers to remain relatively consistent for the remainder of fiscal 2010.

Beginning in fiscal 2008 and continuing through fiscal 2009, we invested substantial time and incurred substantial costs associated with hiring and training new quality assurance and other manufacturing support personnel, increased testing activity, and documentation and validation processes related to our Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) compliance programs. These additional expenses negatively impacted our operating income from continuing operations during fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2009. Although the cost of GMP compliance is significant, we believe the majority of our implementation investment costs have been incurred. Going forward, our commitment to quality and our steadfast support of the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) mandated GMPs makes us well positioned to operate within the higher standards of such GMPs and we believe differentiates us from our competitors.

During fiscal 2009, the continued decline in economic conditions in the United States and the various foreign markets we service negatively impacted our customers’ businesses and our operations. As a result, during the second quarter of fiscal 2009 we implemented a cost reduction program that resulted in the elimination of certain personnel and business activities. This program resulted in a charge to our continuing operations of $558,000 during the second quarter of fiscal 2009. During the second half of fiscal 2009, our cost reduction program resulted in a savings of $3.0 million compared to the cost structure in the comparable prior year period. This cost reduction program reduced our operating overhead costs during the first nine months of fiscal 2010 by approximately $2.5 million and we expect it will further reduce our remaining fiscal 2010 operating overhead by approximately $500,000 as compared to fiscal 2009.

Following the completion of the sale of substantially all of the assets of RHL, our branded products segment consists primarily of the products sold under our Pathway to Healing® product line. Beginning in April 2007, Dr. Cherry ceased airing his weekly television program, which had served as the primary customer acquisition vehicle in marketing the Pathway to Healing® product line. While sales of the product line have been primarily generated by continuity orders from long-standing repeat customers, the loss of the television program has had a negative impact on our ability to acquire new customers and retain existing customers. During fiscal 2009, we revamped our Dr. Cherry website and increased our direct-to-consumer marketing and advertising efforts. These activities helped reduce the decline in our Dr. Cherry sales volumes during the first nine months of fiscal 2010.

During the remainder of fiscal 2010, we plan to continue to focus on:

 

   

Leveraging our state of the art, certified facilities to increase the value of the goods and services we provide to our highly valued private label contract manufacturing customers, and assist us in developing relationships with additional quality oriented customers;

 

   

Implementing focused initiatives to grow our Pathway to Healing® product line;

 

   

Commercializing our licensed patent estate through contract manufacturing, royalties and sublicense agreements and protecting our proprietary rights; and

 

   

Improving operational efficiencies and managing costs and business risks to improve profitability.

Looking forward, as a result of continued uncertain near-term economic conditions, anticipated reduced sales volumes combined with lower pricing programs from our largest customers we expect net sales and net operating income from continuing operations during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 to be lower than the comparable prior year period. Our results could be further negatively affected if current trend in the fluctuation in exchange rates of the Swiss Franc and Euro against the U.S. dollar continue.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our financial statements requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and their accompanying notes. We have identified certain policies that we believe are important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations. These policies require the application of significant judgment by our management. We base our estimates on our historical experience, industry standards, and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. An adverse effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, and results of operations could occur if circumstances change that alter the various assumptions or conditions used in such estimates or assumptions.

Our critical accounting policies are discussed under Item 7 of our 2009 Annual Report. There have been no significant changes to these policies during the nine months ended March 31, 2010.

1 Net sales to Mannatech, Incorporated decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2010 primarily as a result of lower volumes of established products in existing markets along with a shift in sales mix to lower priced products. The increase in net sales to Mannatech, Incorporated during the nine months ended March 31, 2010 was related to new product introductions and increased sales in various international markets partially offset by lower domestic sales.

 

2 The increase in net sales to NSA International, Inc. (NSA) for the three months ended March 31, 2010 included an increase in international sales of 77.4% and a decline in domestic sales of 18.2%. The decrease in net sales to NSA International, Inc. for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 included an increase in international sales of 18.6% and a decline in domestic sales of 17.8%. The international sales increases were due to higher demand as a result of new product packaging configurations. The domestic sales declines were due to lower demand by NSA’s consumers, lower average sales prices, and NSA’s inventory management program.

 

3 The increase in net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was primarily due to sales of new products for new and existing customers. The decrease in net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 to other customers was primarily related to the discontinuance of a customer relationship and timing of shipments during the first nine months of fiscal 2010 as compared to the prior year period offset by sales to new customers and royalty income related to our sub-license agreement for the distribution of Beta-Alanine.

Net sales from our branded products segment decreased 15% from the comparable quarter in fiscal 2009 and 17% from the comparable nine month period last year due primarily to the continuing impact of the cessation of the Dr. Cherry weekly television program in April 2007, which had served as the primary acquisition vehicle in marketing the Pathway to Healing® product line.

Gross profit margin decreased 0.6 percentage points from the comparable quarter in fiscal 2009 and increased 5.2 percentage points from the comparable nine month period last year. The change in gross profit margin was primarily due to the following for the periods ended March 31, 2010:

1 Overhead expenses increased during the three months ended March 31, 2010 primarily due to the disposition of obsolete manufacturing equipment. Overhead expenses decreased during the nine months ended March 31, 2010 as a result of operating expense cost reduction efforts and improved operational efficiencies, partially offset by the disposition of obsolete manufacturing equipment.

 

2 Direct and indirect labor expenses increased during the three months ended March 31, 2010 primarily due to the increase in sales by our international subsidiary. Direct and indirect labor expenses decreased during the nine months ended March 31, 2010 primarily due to the cost reduction program implemented in the second quarter of fiscal 2009.

Selling, general and administrative expenses from continuing operations increased $374,000, or 21.7%, from the comparable quarter last year due primarily to increased compensation expense. Selling, general and administrative expenses from continuing operations decreased $1.6 million, or 22.3%, from the comparable prior year nine month period primarily due to a reduction in compensation and severance employee costs associated with reduced headcount, decreased outside services expenses and reduced direct-to-consumer operating costs.

Other expense, net increased $22,000 from the comparable quarter last year due primarily to higher foreign currency exchange losses associated with changes in the Euro and the related impact on the translation of Euro denominated cash and receivables partially offset by reduced interest expense. Other expense, net decreased $394,000 from the comparable prior year nine month period due primarily to reduced interest expense and lower foreign currency exchange losses associated with changes in the Euro and the related impact on the translation of Euro denominated cash and receivables.

Our income tax benefit from continuing operations increased $1.0 million, or 559.0%, from the comparable quarter last year primarily due to a tax benefit from a tax loss recognized as a result of the write-off of our tax basis in RHL’s stock during the three months ended March 31, 2010. The net tax benefit from continuing operations for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2010 included tax expense from our foreign subsidiary at a statutory tax rate of 20%, a state tax benefit offsetting state tax expense from our U.S.-based income from operations recorded during the first six months of fiscal 2010, and a federal tax benefit equal to the amount of taxable loss that will be carried back to previous tax years.

Our income tax benefit from continuing operations during the nine months ended March 31, 2010 of $940,000 was primarily due to a tax benefit from a tax loss recognized as a result of the write-off of our tax basis in RHL’s stock during the nine months ended March 31, 2010. The net tax benefit from continuing operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 included tax expense from our foreign subsidiary at a statutory tax rate of 20% and a federal tax benefit equal to the amount of taxable loss that will be carried back to previous tax years.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity and capital resources are cash flows provided by operating activities and the availability of borrowings under our credit facility. Net cash provided by operating activities was $5.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $784,000 in the comparable period in the prior year.

Income before discontinued operations increased to $3.8 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2010 as compared to a loss before discontinued operations of $1.5 million in the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. At March 31, 2010, changes in accounts receivable, consisting primarily of amounts due from our private label contract manufacturing customers, provided $715,000 in cash during the nine months ended March 31, 2010 compared to providing $656,000 in the comparable period in the

prior year. The increase in cash provided by accounts receivable during the nine months ended March 31, 2010 was primarily the result of decreased days sales outstanding as compared to the comparable prior year period. Days sales outstanding was 29 days as of March 31, 2010 compared to 31 days as of March 31, 2009.

Approximately $1.1 million of our operating cash flow was generated by NAIE in the nine months ended March 31, 2010. As of March 31, 2010, NAIE’s undistributed retained earnings were considered indefinitely reinvested.

Capital expenditures were $2.0 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $3.9 million in the comparable period in the prior year. Capital expenditures during the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009 were primarily for manufacturing equipment in our Vista, California and Manno, Switzerland facilities. Additionally, during the nine months ended March 31, 2010, we received $500,000 in proceeds related to the sale of the remaining assets of the legacy RHL business as compared to $2.2 million in proceeds related to the sale of our As We Change business in the comparable quarter last year. We also invested $699,000 in a six month certificate of deposit during the nine months ended March 31, 2009, which was converted to an interest bearing cash account during the nine months ended March 31, 2010.

Our consolidated debt decreased to $496,000 at March 31, 2010 from $1.3 million at June 30, 2009 primarily due to payments on our term loans, including the early pay-off of one of our term loans.

We have a bank credit facility of $8.0 million as of March 31, 2010, comprised of a $7.5 million working capital line of credit and $496,000 in an outstanding term loan. The working capital line of credit has a maturity date of November 1, 2011 and is secured by our accounts receivable and other rights to payment, general intangibles, inventory and equipment, has a fluctuating or fixed interest rate as elected by NAI from time to time and borrowings are subject to eligibility requirements for current accounts receivable and inventory balances. As of March 31, 2010, the outstanding balance on the term loan consisted of a $496,000, 10 year term loan due May 2014 with a twenty year amortization, secured by our San Marcos building, at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.25%. As of March 31, 2010, our monthly payment on the term loan is approximately $3,000 plus interest. As of March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2009, our working capital line of credit balance was zero.

On March 31, 2010, we were in compliance with all of the financial and other covenants required under our credit facility.

On September 22, 2006, NAIE, our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a credit facility to provide it with a credit line of up to CHF 1.3 million, or approximately $1.2 million, which is the initial maximum aggregate amount that can be outstanding at any one time under the credit facility. This maximum amount was reduced by CHF 160,000, or approximately $150,000, as of December 31, 2007, and was reduced an additional CHF 160,000, or approximately $150,000, as of December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2009, and will be reduced by an additional CHF 160,000 at the end of each succeeding calendar year. On February 19, 2007, NAIE amended its credit facility to provide that the maximum aggregate amount that may be outstanding under the facility cannot be reduced below CHF 500,000, or approximately $470,000. As of March 31, 2010, there was no outstanding balance under the credit facility.

Under its credit facility, NAIE may draw amounts either as current account loan credits to its current or future bank accounts or as fixed loans with a maximum term of 24 months. Current account loans will bear interest at the rate of 5% per annum. Fixed loans will bear interest at a rate determined by the parties based on current market conditions and must be repaid pursuant to a repayment schedule established by the parties at the time of the loan. If a fixed loan is repaid early at NAIE’s election or in connection with the termination of the credit facility, NAIE will be charged a pre-payment penalty equal to 0.1% of the principal amount of the fixed loan or CHF 1,000 (approximately $940), whichever is greater. The bank reserves the right to refuse individual requests for an advance under the credit facility, although its exercise of such right will not have the effect of terminating the credit facility as a whole.

As of March 31, 2010, we had $7.8 million in cash and cash equivalents and $3.8 million available under our working capital line of credit. We believe our available cash, cash equivalents and potential cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund our current working capital needs, capital expenditures and debt payments through at least the next twelve months.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2010, we did not have any significant off-balance sheet debt nor did we have any transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations) or other relationships with any unconsolidated entities or other persons that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, capital resources, or significant components of revenue or expenses material to investors.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements are discussed in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included under Item 8 of our 2009 Annual Report. During the first quarter of fiscal 2010, we adopted the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) as issued by

the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). The ASC has become the source of authoritative GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. The ASC is not intended to change or alter existing GAAP. The adoption of the ASC did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Effective June 15, 2009, the Company adopted the updated guidance related to subsequent events issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The updated guidance initially required the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date – that is, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. However, in February 2010, the FASB amended the guidance to remove the requirement to disclose the date through which subsequent events were evaluated. Adoption of the updated guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or statements of cash flows.

Effective January 1, 2010, the Company adopted the FASB’s updated guidance related to fair value measurements and disclosures, which requires a reporting entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and to describe the reasons for the transfers. In addition, in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs, or Level 3, a reporting entity should disclose separately information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than one net number). The updated guidance also requires that an entity should provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities and disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements for Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. The guidance is effective for interim or annual financial reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Therefore, the Company has not yet adopted the guidance with respect to the roll forward activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. The Company has updated its disclosures to comply with the updated guidance, however, adoption of the updated guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or statements of cash flows.

Other than the pronouncements discussed in our 2009 Annual Report and above, we are not aware of any other pronouncements that materially affect our financial position or results of operations.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain certain disclosure controls and procedures as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. They are designed to help ensure that material information is: (1) gathered and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, in a manner that allows for timely decisions regarding required disclosures; and (2) recorded, processed, summarized, reported and filed with the SEC as required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and within the time periods specified by the SEC. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2010. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective for their intended purpose described above as of March 31, 2010.

There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarterly period ended March 31, 2010 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we become involved in various investigations, claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. These matters may relate to product liability, employment, intellectual property, tax, regulation, contract or other matters. The resolution of these matters as they arise will be subject to various uncertainties and, even if such claims are without merit, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. While unfavorable outcomes are possible, based on available information, we generally do not believe the resolution of these matters will result in a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial condition, or results of operations. However, a settlement payment or unfavorable outcome could adversely impact our results of operations. Our evaluation of the likely impact of these actions could change in the future and we could have unfavorable outcomes that we do not expect.

As of May 13, 2010, neither NAI nor its subsidiaries were a party to any material pending legal proceeding nor was any of their property the subject of any material pending legal proceeding.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the risks described under Item 1A of our 2009 Annual Report, as well as the other information in our 2009 Annual Report, this report and other reports and documents we file with the SEC, when evaluating our business and future prospects. If any of the identified risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be seriously harmed. In that event, the market price of our common stock could decline and you could lose all or a portion of the value of your investment in our common stock.

Exhibit 10.51

EIGHTH AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT

THIS AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) is entered into as of March 16, 2010, by and between NATURAL ALTERNATIVES INTERNATIONAL, INC. a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), and WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (“Bank”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, Borrower is currently indebted to Bank pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Credit Agreement between Borrower and Bank dated as of May 1, 2004, as amended from time to time (“Credit Agreement”).

WHEREAS, Bank and Borrower have agreed to certain changes in the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement and have agreed to amend the Credit Agreement to reflect said changes.

NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree that the Credit Agreement shall be amended as follows:

1. Section 1.1 (a) is hereby amended by deleting “November 1, 2010” as the last day on which Bank will make advances under the Line of Credit, and by substituting for said date “November 1, 2011,” with such change to be effective upon the execution and delivery to Bank of a promissory note dated as of March 16, 2010 (which promissory note shall replace and be deemed the Line of Credit Note defined in and made pursuant to the Credit Agreement) and all other contracts, instruments and documents required by Bank to evidence such change.

2. Except as specifically provided herein, all terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement remain in full force and effect, without waiver or modification. All terms defined in the Credit Agreement shall have the same meaning when used in this Amendment. This Amendment and the Credit Agreement shall be read together, as one document.

3. Borrower hereby remakes all representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement and reaffirms all covenants set forth therein. Borrower further certifies that as of the date of this Amendment there exists no Event of Default as defined in the Credit Agreement, nor any condition, act or event which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would constitute any such Event of Default.

(i) “Base LIBOR” means the rate per annum for United States dollar deposits quoted by Bank (A) for the purpose of calculating effective rates of interest for loans making reference to LIBOR, as the Inter-Bank Market Offered Rate, with the understanding that such rate is quoted by Bank for the purpose of calculating effective rates of interest for loans making reference thereto, on the first day of a Fixed Rate Term for delivery of funds on said date for a period of time approximately equal to the number of days in such Fixed Rate Term and in an amount approximately equal to the principal amount to which such Fixed Rate Term applies, or (B) for the purpose of calculating effective rates of interest for loans making reference to the

 

1


Daily Three Month LIBOR Rate, as the Inter-Bank Market Offered Rate in effect from time to time for delivery of funds for three (3) months in amounts approximately equal to the principal amount of such loans. Borrower understands and agrees that Bank may base its quotation of the Inter-Bank Market Offered Rate upon such offers or other market indicators of the lnter-Bank Market as Bank in its discretion deems appropriate including, but not limited to, the rate offered for U.S. dollar deposits on the London Inter-Bank Market.

(ii) “LIBOR Reserve Percentage” means the reserve percentage prescribed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) for “Eurocurrency Liabilities” (as defined in Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Board, as amended), adjusted by Bank for expected changes in such reserve percentage during the applicable term of this Note.

INTEREST:

(a) Interest. The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) either (i) at a fluctuating rate per annum determined by Bank to be two and three-quarters percent (2.75%) above the Daily Three Month LIBOR Rate in effect from time to time, or (ii) at a fixed rate per annum determined by Bank to be two and one-half percent (2.50%) above LIBOR in effect on the first day of the applicable Fixed Rate Term. When interest is determined in relation to the Daily Three Month LIBOR Rate, each change in the interest rate shall become effective each Business Day that the Bank determines that the Daily Three Month LIBOR Rate has changed. Bank is hereby authorized to note the date, principal amount and interest rate applicable thereto and any payments made thereon on Bank’s books and records (either manually or by electronic entry) and/or on any schedule attached to this Note, which notations shall be prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information noted.

(b) Selection of Interest Rate Options. At any time any portion of this Note bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR for a Fixed Rate Term, it may be continued by Borrower at the end of the Fixed Rate Term applicable thereto so that all or a portion thereof bears interest determined in relation to the Daily Three Month LIBOR Rate or to LIBOR for a new Fixed Rate Term designated by Borrower. At any time any portion of this Note bears interest determined in relation to the Daily Three Month LIBOR Rate, Borrower may at any time convert all or a portion thereof so that it bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR for a Fixed Rate Term designated by Borrower. At such time as Borrower requests an advance hereunder or wishes to select an interest rate determined in relation to the Daily Three Month LIBOR Rate or a Fixed Rate Term for all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance hereof, and at the end of each Fixed Rate Term, Borrower shall give Bank notice specifying: (i) the interest rate option selected by Borrower; (ii) the principal amount subject thereto; and (iii) for each LIBOR selection for a Fixed Rate Term, the length of the applicable Fixed Rate Term. Any such notice may be given by telephone (or such other electronic method as Bank may permit) so long as, with respect to each LIBOR selection for a Fixed Rate Term, (A) if requested by Bank, Borrower provides to Bank written confirmation thereof not later than three (3) Business Days after such notice is given, and (B) such notice is given to Bank prior to 10:00 a.m. on the first day of the Fixed Rate Term, or at a later time during any Business Day if Bank, at its sole option but without obligation to do so, accepts Borrower’s notice and quotes a fixed rate to Borrower. If Borrower does not immediately accept a fixed rate when quoted by Bank, the quoted rate shall expire and any subsequent LIBOR request from Borrower shall be subject to a redetermination by Bank of the applicable fixed rate. If no specific designation of interest is made at the time

 

2


any advance is requested hereunder or at the end of any Fixed Rate Term, Borrower shall be deemed to have made a Daily Three Month LIBOR Rate interest selection for such advance or the principal amount to which such Fixed Rate Term applied.

(c) Taxes and Regulatory Costs. Borrower shall pay to Bank immediately upon demand, in addition to any other amounts due or to become due hereunder, any and all (i) withholdings, interest equalization taxes, stamp taxes or other taxes (except income and franchise taxes) imposed by any domestic or foreign governmental authority and related in any manner to LIBOR, and (ii) future, supplemental, emergency or other changes in the LIBOR Reserve Percentage, assessment rates imposed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or similar requirements or costs imposed by any domestic or foreign governmental authority or resulting from compliance by Bank with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other governmental authority and related in any manner to LIBOR to the extent they are not included in the calculation of LIBOR. In determining which of the foregoing are attributable to any LIBOR option available to Borrower hereunder, any reasonable allocation made by Bank among its operations shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower.

(d) Payment of Interest. Interest accrued on this Note shall be payable on the 1st day of each month, commencing April 1, 2010.

(e) Default Interest. From and after the maturity date of this Note, or such earlier date as all principal owing hereunder becomes due and payable by acceleration or otherwise, or at Bank’s option upon the occurrence, and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest at an increased rate per annum (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) equal to four percent (4%) above the rate of interest from time to time applicable to this Note.

BORROWING AND REPAYMENT:

(a) Borrowing and Repayment. Borrower may from time to time during the term of this Note borrow, partially or wholly repay its outstanding borrowings, and reborrow, subject to all of the limitations, terms and conditions of this Note and of any document executed in connection with or governing this Note; provided however, that the total outstanding borrowings under this Note shall not at any time exceed the principal amount stated above. The unpaid principal balance of this obligation at any time shall be the total amounts advanced hereunder by the holder hereof less the amount of principal payments made hereon by or for Borrower, which balance may be endorsed hereon from time to time by the holder. The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall be due and payable in full on November 1, 2011.

(c) Advances. Advances hereunder, to the total amount of the principal sum stated above, may be made by the holder at the oral or written request of (i) Mark A. LeDoux or Kenneth E. Wolf, any one acting alone, who are authorized to request advances and direct the disposition of any advances until written notice of the revocation of such authority is received by the holder at the office designated above, or (ii) any person, with respect to advances deposited to the credit of any deposit account of Borrower, which advances, when so deposited, shall be conclusively presumed to have been made to or for the benefit of Borrower regardless of the fact that persons other than those authorized to request advances may have authority to draw against such account. The holder shall have no obligation to determine whether any person requesting an advance is or has been authorized by Borrower.

(d) Application of Payments. Each payment made on this Note shall be credited first, to any interest then due and second, to the outstanding principal balance hereof.

PREPAYMENT:

(a) Daily Three Month LIBOR Rate. Borrower may prepay principal on any portion of this Note which bears interest determined in relation to the Daily Three Month LIBOR Rate at any time, in any amount and without penalty.

(b) LIBOR. Borrower may prepay principal on any portion of this Note which bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR at any time and in the minimum amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00); provided however, that if the outstanding principal balance of such portion of this Note is less than said amount, the minimum prepayment amount shall be the entire outstanding principal balance thereof. In consideration of Bank providing this prepayment option to Borrower, or if any such portion of this Note shall become due and payable at any time prior to the last day of the Fixed Rate Term applicable thereto by acceleration or otherwise, Borrower shall pay to Bank immediately upon demand a fee which is the sum of the discounted monthly differences for each month from the month of prepayment through the month in which such Fixed Rate Term matures, calculated as follows for each such month:

 

  (i) Determine the amount of interest which would have accrued each month on the amount prepaid at the interest rate applicable to such amount had it remained outstanding until the last day of the Fixed Rate Term applicable thereto.

 

  (ii) Subtract from the amount determined in (i) above the amount of interest which would have accrued for the same month on the amount prepaid for the remaining term of such Fixed Rate Term at LIBOR in effect on the date of prepayment for new loans made for such term and in a principal amount equal to the amount prepaid.

 

  (iii) If the result obtained in (ii) for any month is greater than zero, discount that difference by LIBOR used in (ii) above.

Borrower acknowledges that prepayment of such amount may result in Bank incurring additional costs, expenses and/or liabilities, and that it is difficult to ascertain the full extent of such costs, expenses and/or liabilities. Borrower, therefore, agrees to pay the above-described prepayment fee and agrees that said amount represents a reasonable estimate of the prepayment costs, expenses and/or liabilities of Bank. If Borrower fails to pay any prepayment fee when due, the amount of such prepayment fee shall thereafter bear interest until paid at a rate per annum two percent (2.00%) above the Daily Three Month LIBOR Rate in effect from time to time (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed).

EVENTS OF DEFAULT:

This Note is made pursuant to and is subject to the terms and conditions of that certain Credit Agreement between Borrower and Bank dated as of May 1, 2004, as amended from time to time (the “Credit Agreement”). Any default in the payment or performance of any obligation under this Note, or any defined event of default under the Credit Agreement, shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Note.

MISCELLANEOUS:

(a) Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the holder of this Note, at the holder’s option, may declare all sums of principal and interest outstanding hereunder to be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, notice of nonperformance, notice of protest, protest or notice of dishonor, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower, and the obligation, if any, of the holder to extend any further credit hereunder shall immediately cease and terminate. Borrower shall pay to the holder immediately upon demand the full amount of all payments, advances, charges, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (to include outside counsel fees and all allocated costs of the holder’s in-house counsel), expended or incurred by the holder in connection with the enforcement of the holder’s rights and/or the collection of any amounts which become due to the holder under this Note, and the prosecution or defense of any action in any way related to this Note, including without limitation, any action for declaratory relief, whether incurred at the trial or appellate level, in an arbitration proceeding or otherwise, and including any of the foregoing incurred in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding (including without limitation, any adversary proceeding, contested matter or motion brought by Bank or any other person) relating to Borrower or any other person or entity.

(b) Obligations Joint and Several. Should more than one person or entity sign this Note as a Borrower, the obligations of each such Borrower shall be joint and several.

(c) Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this Note as of the date first written above.
